The squeaky wheel gets oiled.
Conservatives are not nearly as squeaky as liberals and are way too polite and quiet.
The title of Bernard Goldberg's new book comes to mind: Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right
Gots to clean own house first.
Bush approval ratings
Because the enemy isn’t as naivee.
Fiscal conservatives lose when their message gets overshadowed by the former.
We all lose if one group decides to stay home because they're in a such a snit that they're willing to allow someone like She Who Awaits to become President, in which case those who stayed home should then keep their traps shut about why things are so bad.
George W. Bush showing leadership and conviction against the evil that befell us on 9-11-01 is the striking the root of the problem.
Liberals are swinging in all directions at once sure they hit the ball more but it is fouled or grounded out.
Because there are different types of conservative, and they don’t really agree with each other philosophically when push comes to shove. Push came to shove.
I doubt that conservatives often lose. I think we greatly underestimate our victories and power and on the other hand greatly overrate the left power and victories. In reality we are winning more elections than democrats, 7 of the last 10 Presidential elections were won by Republicans and to a larger degree by Conservatives. Republicans controlled Congress from 1994-2006 and in some way it brought good victories for the conservative cause despite that we did not get everything we wanted. For sure we stopped the left wing liberal from achieving a lot of what they wanted in the last 25 years or so.
Because most conservatives are “nice” people and don’t like (idiotic) confrontation.
Liberal Media.
Kill the tree of evil where it grows from the ground up.
One person sees the root of the problem while the mob strikes to biggest target.
Kind of like looking for something in the best lit area even though you lost in the the dark someplace else because there is better light.
That you’re very good at colored fonts.
Conservatives play by the rules, suffer fools and always put self-interest above ideology.
WARS can not be WON with PC ROE's that ONLY the good guys follow!!
Now, everyone is going to give a different answer on what the "root" is. I have my own.
They don't run.
or they think they have to play leftward to win.
Bold conservatism often wins, you just don't see it very often.

This naturally cedes control of the government to those who love it -- ie. to "commies at heart" and to commies in fact.
Conservatives only begin to involve ourselves once the government is screwing us somehow. And by then it's too late.
Good question. I will rant in question format and hopefully some constructive answers and suggestions will be forthcoming.
It means we must ask: why is there an important case pending (Peter Paul vs. Hillary Clinton) and twice the only people making the sacrifice during weekday hours to help Peter Paul is DFU and myself?
It means we must ask: why do we have Anna Nicole Smith and other threads that go on for tens of thousands of posts—hundreds of thousands of views—and we have far too few Freepers that bother to meet the Move America Forward/Gathering Of Eagles Caravan as it was going across the country to D.C. and far too few Rallies and AARs? Not that GOE wasn’t a RESOUNDING success—it was! (California FReepers, I am the CA GOE Coordinator so Freepmail to get on that list.)
It means we must ask: why do so many people rationalize and knowingly subsidize firms that deliberately subsidize Leftist media instead of sacrificially or at least creatively doing without/finding an alternative?
It means we must ask: why do so few do and so many talk?
Last but not least, it means we must ask: why do so many talk trash about each other and about our elected and appointed leaders and so few pray for them?
CONSERVATIVES ARE IN GROSS DENIAL..
America is becomeing a socialist country..
And are oblivious to the reality of the threat(s) to the republic..
